The Myth That GGG Has 20 Title Defenses

[Boxing_1013]

I never take race into account, I support people based on personality, entertainment value and if they're from Ireland or Cleveland. That's it. I don't care about race.

Yes I agree for the most part...'race' helps me in a way to identify and relate to someone...but for the most part I root for styles and likeability

That's the most important part no doubt. I find that people from the same race rarely relate unless they're from the same economic, moral and cultural background which is much more important.

Tried to give some green K but need to spread it around first...

These morons count his title defenses when he was the WBA interim/regular champion. A fake belt that no one cares about.

He was finally elevated to WBA Champion on November 2012 after Daniel Geale got stripped and since then only defended the title 15 times, and one of them was a draw.

Agree those title defenses of the BS interim title should not count, but the Draw does. Esp since it was not a draw anyways, but a draw has ALWAYS counted.

I think these guys are either fervent Canelo fans or anti-white racists.

LOL ! GGG isn’t even white

Ditto for anyone. It’s a ****** argument. Go through anyone’s resume and you’ll find opponents that have moved up in weight lol

Hell, Fury fought a Cruiserweight earlier this year!

Agree. Why wouldn't they fight guys from a lower weight class if challenged by them and they bring money.

"only 9 " legit defences. So that is a bad number? It amuses you?
What is a praiseworthy number then? 10? 15? 37?

it is very good... but yea, in this era, not great... and it is certainly not a record equaling achievement

GGG was mandatory challenger for the WBA MW title.

There was no WBA super title at MW.

GGG fought for the WBA title and won it. Meanwhile, the WBA had created a paper "super" title for Sturm to defend in Germany and rake in money for themselves and his promoter.

Conclusion: GGG was the WBA MW champion, and unbiased boxing fans who care about the integrity of the sport should accept all his title defenses as legit.

FACT: Golovkin was not the highest ranked WBA middleweight... nor was he longest standing

for WHATEVER reason..... because, the reason is irrelevant

stop handing out participation awards you muppet

[aboutfkntime]

Nope, they will scratch their heads and wonder why on earth GGG was even asked to negotiate on weight for a mandatory unification fight with another MW title holder.

by a superstar who had never weighed more than 155

fans in the future will laugh at Mr " anyone from 154-168 "

he talked it, but he did nothing of the sort

Canelo... he did not talk, he just did it

Canelo and Ward are everything that you muppets thought Golovkin would be... which is why you hate them so ferociously

[aboutfkntime]

LOL! GTFO. The real WBA belt IS the super belt. Felix Strum was the champion and then became the Super Champion after they created the interim/regular. Daniel Geale beat Félix Strum for the WBA championship, Daniel Geale gets stripped and then GGG is automatically elevated to the real champion just for being the interim/regular champion.

Him defending his regular belt means jack shît. He doesn’t have 20 title defenses.

exactly !

these idiots will splutter out all kinds of silly excuses to make it seem like Golovkin is not a huge disappointment and total underachiever
